Cabbage Juice Has More Vitamin C Than An Orange And Strong Anti-Cancer Properties
Historical Highlights
Cabbage has been grown the world over for thousands of years, from Asia and southern Europe, to the Americas, and was consumed as commonly as potatoes! It was introduced to northern Euopeans and the British Isles by the Romans, where it became a staple, particularly among the lower classes. By the 1600 – 1700’s, this humble vegetable became a staple of ships’ crews for it’s high content of vitamin C and ability to be stored for long periods of time in a variety of forms, as a way to avoid scurvy.
Nutritional Highlights
Cabbage juice is amazing! Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that eating cabbage once a week can reduce the risk of colon cancer by 60 percent!
